From Plato’s Cratylus to contemporary debates in semantics and pragmatics, the philosophy of language has persistently asked a fundamental question: how do words mean, and what connects language to reality? This volume traces that question across its most decisive moments and brings it firmly into the present. Beginning with the ancient problem of the “correctness of names,” the introduction situates the philosophy of language within its long historical arc, before highlighting the decisive impact of the twentieth-century linguistic turn. With figures such as Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, and Ayer, language came to be seen not merely as a tool of expression, but as the key medium through which philosophical problems themselves could be clarified and resolved. Logic, formal languages, and the internal structure of propositions became central to philosophical inquiry. As the field evolved, attention shifted from idealised formal systems to the complexity of natural language, with its ambiguity, context-sensitivity, and pragmatic richness. Contemporary philosophy of language now unfolds along three interconnected research fronts: the nature of propositions and their relation to sentence meaning; the development of semantic theories capable of accounting for contextual variation; and the construction of pragmatic theories that explain how speakers convey illocutionary content – what they do with words in real communicative situations. This thematic volume of the Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia brings together leading contributions that engage directly with these debates. Addressing issues such as fictional discourse, contextualism, norm-sensitive judgement, reference, perception, ambiguity, and argumentative practice, the essays collected here demonstrate how meaning emerges from the dynamic interaction between formal structure and communicative use. Together, they show that progress in the philosophy of language today depends on sustained dialogue between semantics, pragmatics, logic, epistemology, and philosophical history. |
